DISTRIBUTION AND OCCURRENCE
SPECIES: Salix drummondiana | Drummond Willow 



GENERAL DISTRIBUTION : 
Drummond willow occurs from the southern Yukon Territory south through
British Columbia to the Sierra Nevada of California and eastward
throughout the Rocky Mountains [3,13].  In British Columbia it generally
occurs 100 miles (160 km) or more inland [7].  In Washington it is found
only east of the Cascade Mountains, and in Oregon it is found only in
the Wallowa and Steens mountains [20].

HABITAT TYPES AND PLANT COMMUNITIES : 
Drummond willow commonly dominates or codominates shrubby communities
along middle elevation mountain streams.  It frequently mixes with the
ecologically similar Booth willow (Salix boothii).  For taxonomic
simplicity, riparian communities dominated by either willow are
classified as Booth willow types in eastern Idaho, western Wyoming, and
Utah [29,44].

the vegetation in community types (cts), dominance types (dts), habitat
types (hts), or plant associations (pas) are presented below:
